Salim Çevik on Turkey’s Middle East reset
November 5, 2024
Turkey Book Talk #231 – Salim Çevik, visiting fellow at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs (SWP), on his recent paper “Turkey’s Reconciliation Efforts in the Middle East: Ambitions and Constraints in a Changing Regional Order“.
The piece examines Erdogan’s shift away from trying to overthrow the established regional order by supporting Muslim Brotherhood allies, and towards rapprochement with the ruling regimes in Egypt, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Syria and others.
Our conversation weighs up the successes and failures of this initiative, how it has been impacted by Israel’s Gaza war, and how it could be affected by the results of the US presidential election.
